‘CNN Enhanced TV’ Premieres

CNN has launched ‘CNN Enhanced TV,’ “a new content-rich interactive news service offering through EchoStar’s DISH Network satellite TV service.” Subscribers “can get the latest headlines and images from CNN.com in conjunction with CNN/U.S. programming on DISH Network’s DishHOME on channel 100.”

The service is CNN’s “first major one-screen interactive TV application that runs along with its regular CNN linear cable channel to 11 million EchoStar customers outfitted with ITV-capable set-top boxes,” according to TV Week.

> In the future: “Users will be able to access the CNN Enhanced TV application whenever they tune into CNN/U.S. located on channel 200. There is no additional fee to DISH Network subscribers for access to CNN Enhanced TV.”
